'That NSW jersey is mine': Mitchell sends reminder to Burton in brutal look

Image
On a night where Mitchell scored one of the most brilliant solo attempts of the season, pushing good mate Josh Addo-Carr out of the way at the end of a brutal 40-meter jump, Rabbitoh edged a little closer to the last eight. against a team of brave Bulldogs. And that’s all good about Mitchell, and only a little bit bad. He threw one of those passes that only came naturally to the most talented for Junior Tatola to level the score late in the game, and also cut Addo-Carr in the face which led to the Bulldogs effort. But the sight of Mitchell galloping past the Bulldogs defenders after Kodi Nikorima was taken down, intent on destroying anyone in his path, is one of the noblest, and scariest, sights for any rugby league fan. Missing NSW regulars Cameron Murray and Damien Cook, Mitchell also provided the final pass for an attempted win five minutes from full time as Alex Johnston scored another Accor Stadium hat-trick. Mitchell didn’t even have to look where his winger was. A ...

A psychologist's friendly reminder of the little things we can do to be okay in difficult times - ABC Everyday

Playing an iconic character on stage that was so well portrayed by others in the film can come with a certain level of expectation. However, Kirby Burgess, who plays Kathryn — in Cruel Intentions: The 90s Musical — takes things in stride. “Most people say, ‘Oh, you play Sarah Michelle Gellar,'” Burgess laughed. Sarah Michelle Gellar played the cunning Kathryn in the 1999 film Cruel Intentions, based on the 1988 film Dangerous Liaisons. The film, in turn, was inspired by the 1985 play Les Liaisons Dangereuses, which was adapted from the 1782 French novel of the same name. “Sarah Michelle Gellar, herself, was a ’90s icon,” Burgess said. “So stepping into his position, regardless of what role he plays is already quite a feat. “But it’s also an honor.
